What is coaching?
Life coaching provides a collaborative partnership that mobilizes and supports individual personal and professional growth. A relatively new profession, coaching can be an empowering, energizing and transformational process. Coaching offers a helpful framework for personal empowerment, consistent growth, lasting change, and greater happiness.
The International Coaching Federation defines coaching as “an ongoing professional relationship that helps people produce extraordinary results in their lives. Through the process of coaching, clients deepen their learning, improve their performance, and enhance their quality of life.”
What are the benefits of coaching?
With the support of a good coach, clients typically accomplish more than they could on their own. As a client, you get to decide what you want to focus on—you are in charge! Some of the benefits of coaching include:
- Self empowerment
- Greater enjoyment of everyday life
- Greater clarity about what is most important to you
- Increased confidence and self-esteem
- Healthier relationships
- Improved life balance and satisfaction
- Greater productivity
- More effective communication
Why hire a coach?
It is not uncommon for people to wish things were different, but not know how to create the desired changes. People often feel stuck and powerless, or resigned to the way things are. Coaching provides the necessary support, knowledge and tools to uncover meaningful life values, dreams and goals that allow clients to attain a greater awareness of who they are and what they want.
What makes coaching work?
The coaching process empowers clients to uncover their true passion and purpose, creating an opening to spirit that allows clients to live deeply fulfilling lives. The coaching relationship is one of complete positive support and total acceptance, providing a safe and confidential space for clients to flourish.
How is coaching different from therapy?
The focus of coaching is more about where you want to go than where you have been. Coaching involves a positive, forward thinking approach, and honors clients as capable and responsible for their lives. Coaching acknowledges individual inner strengths and resources for change, and assumes clients are ready and willing to move forward. While the coaching relationship can be very therapeutic, it is not intended to replace therapy when appropriate.
